This is truly a depressing day in metal, one of the greatest band in metal's history are about to call it a day, at least for active touring.

 

[VelociBrad]

I've seen them 3x in the past few years and they've been great every time. Will definitely go to this if I get a chance.

 

[Hell Patrol]

Yeah. It sucks. They're my second favorite band. They had better all get involved in awesome side-projects.

 

[Kulak]

that is a shame indeed

 

[The Butt]

I'm not the BIGGEST Priest fan ever, but I'd go to this. This is a real big shame.

 

[Hell Patrol]

It must be said, the farewell tour was completly unprecedented. For me at least.

 

[mutantllama]

Well I'm glad I was able to see them at least once.


Dio dies, and now Priest calls it a day. What a sad year.

 

[Krow]

Why is this sad?
Judas Priest has been around for 40 years and they're still loved and respected and will be for a long time in the future. They couldnt make music forever. Let them chill for the rest of their lives.

 

[mutantllama]

It's sad because it's the end of one of the greatest metal bands.

Of coarse they deserve to relax for the rest of their lives. I'm happy for them in that respect.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Their singer is gay.

 

[CF87]

Good, hopefully Slayer Metallica and Megadeth next. Bands need to know when to call it a day.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Their singer is gay.

I hope "hitting all the major cities throughout the world" includes a stop in New Zealand, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't.

 

[Dagon666]

Their singer is gay.

Du är norrlänning, det är värre.

Nvmnd, just some swedish local patriotism going on here.

R.I.P Judas Prist. 40 glorious years!

 

[CF87]

Their singer is gay.

Halford is Gay ?, who would have had any idea!

 

[Alteredmindeath]

They still owe us a couple more years to make up for the Ripper Owen era.

 

[Kulak]

Good, hopefully Slayer Metallica and Megadeth next. Bands need to know when to call it a day.

and Iron Maiden, I love Iron Maiden to death but they need to stop last 3 albums were not good (imo)

 

[The Ozzman]

I hope "hitting all the major cities throughout the world" includes a stop in New Zealand, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't.

It most likely means only the capital cities. They won't come to Cincinnati because no one gives a shit about this city

 

[arg]

i will very likely go to Hellfest. it'll be my first and last time to see them.

 

[Blind Guardian]

It most likely means only the capital cities. They won't come to Cincinnati because no one gives a shit about this city

Cincinnati is a city? I thought it was a state.

 

[Srontgorrth]

I was lucky enough to see them back in 2005 but if they come to Vegas (which is unlikely) I'll probably go.
